"GERB did not achieve what they wanted. Evidence is getting stronger and stronger that an unprecedented plot against democracy and Bulgarian citizens' right to decide who will rule was prepared. The intercepted illegally printed ballots show the scale of the fraud that was under way. The ones who controlled the preparation of the elections are now the ones who call for annulment of results. They want to create chaos and completely destabilize the country. They will bring impoverishment and a collapse of the economy. Their goal is to rescue themselves. GERB realize that they cannot form a working cabinet. They want to remain in power through the back door, so that they can cover their traces and shake off responsibility for what they have done."
